Qlik Sense SAAS - Can this use API to connect to Magento 2,

[kp2]

Hello all, 

Can Qlik Sense connect to Magento 2 to retrieve information through an API, if so how would this be achieved. Can someone point me in the direction of this information?

Thanks

I don't have personal experience with loading Magento 2 into Qlik Sense, but it does appear that Magento provides API documentation you can use to construct a REST data connection using Qlik Sense's REST API connector.

Magento API Docs:  https://devdocs.magento.com/redoc/2.3/

Qlik's documentation/examples for REST API connections can be found here: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/REST_Connector_help/Content/Connectors_REST/Cr...

You will need Magento API credentials to connect to the API. Once you have that you can use the REST connector in Qlik Sense to create the connection.

Yes, Qlik Sense can connect to Magento 2 via the API! I set up a similar integration for my own store, and it made a big difference in how I accessed and analyzed my data. The first step is to check out the Magento API documentation; it has all the endpoints you’ll need to pull the info you want.I got some great advice from a Magento Agency that helped me with the initial setup. They showed me how to authenticate with the API and pull data like orders and customer info into Qlik Sense. Using the API keys was key, and once I got that sorted, it was pretty straightforward. If you run into any issues, the community is really helpful, so don't hesitate to ask for tips.
